*7/16" PTFE IMPREGNATED FLAX PACKING

APG stocks the 14630437-05, a PTFE Impregnated Flax Packing Compression Packing measuring a 7/16 inch square cross section. A compression packing provides field-serviceable shaft sealing that can be adjusted and topped up without disassembling the pump. Additional detail on this item: 5 LB. Box - Approx. 46 FT.

The material holds up against strong acids and bases, nearly all industrial chemicals, and steam. That behavior comes from the compound itself: PTFE Impregnated Flax Packing is valued for one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid and a very wide continuous service temperature range. Exposure to molten alkali metals or service requiring elastic recovery will shorten service life.

It sees regular use in semiconductor fabrication, chemical processing, and laboratory equipment.

Reference part number 14630437-05 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 5 lb. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
